Ape facts from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Zee, with Prime Mates Podcast

Every week I recommend a podcast to all the GameSpew readers. This week, I’m recommending the ape-based Prime Mates, from Matt Stewart, stand-up comedian turned podcast star.

Want to know the stories behind the most important primates in popular culture? Then look no further than Prime Mates! Matt Stewart is a laid-back host who invites a host of podcast and comedy stars to chat through some of the world’s most interesting chimps.

Podcast of the Week: Prime Mates

What is it? An entertainment podcast that has Matt and guests talk about famous primates

Where can I listen? They are searchable in most podcast apps or the recordings are listed here

Who does it star? Matt Stewart and many hilarious guests

Episodes vary from talking about Marcel the Monkey from Friends to The Planet of the Apes musical in The Simpsons – and even as far as Bollo from The Mighty Boosh. Every episode functions as a funny chat-turned-report about these peculiar primates, whether they are real or not.

What makes the episodes worthwhile is Matt’s easy to like, calm personality that invites comedy from his guests. I like the homely feel of the chat which is nice to listen to while doing mundane chores. In fact, I’m listening to the George of the Jungle episode as I type.
